Sustainable Product Development for Slow Fashion Brands

200–300 words:

Sustainable product development is more than choosing organic fabric — it’s a systems-level approach to designing garments that respect people, the planet, and the resources required to make clothing.

This category covers how to integrate sustainability into every stage of your development process: sourcing natural-fiber materials, designing for circularity, using biodegradable trims, minimizing sampling waste, choosing low-impact construction methods, and planning for garment end-of-life.

You’ll learn how to brief factories with sustainability expectations, how to spec components that align with your values, and how to create tech packs that support ethical and mindful production. Whether you’re a new founder or an established designer reconnection with your sustainability goals, these posts help you make informed, intentional design decisions.
